Nasty weather likely played a factor in a fatal crash on Monday in Buckingham County, according to a report from Virginia State Police.
Demita Joann Jackson, 64, of Dillwyn, died at the scene.
Jackson struck the upper branches of a downed tree that was partially obstructing Constitution Road, approximately 0.2 miles north of Slate River Mill Road.
The crash occurred just after 8 p.m. on Monday night. The preliminary investigation found the accident was likely the result of low visibility and adverse weather conditions.
